Clearance Bar

CONFESSION: Me and my husband don't really drink alcohol.

I mean, we do, occasionally, a cocktail to celebrate a special occassion or a glass of wine during parties.

So having a bar in our home was not a big priority. However, I do have a small corner in my dining room that I wanted to put a bar cart in for friends and guests. I did not want to spend much for this corner and I am glad that I didn't have to.

So one Friday, here's what I came up with...


All the mirrors are from THRESHOLD line from TARGET




I used a lot of Mirrors from the THRESHOLD line of TARGET that I got on Clearance for $8 each for the big ones and $12.99 for all 3 small ones! Then I used a small $5 brown shelf I got from Menards months ago. Placed my clearance tray from Pier 1 and clearance Glass by ALTUZZARA from the Neiman Marcus for TARGET line. A cute  gold-rimmed bowl with fold spoon for olive and such that I got at a garage sale. I also added my paint-by-numbers- art I scored over at Cobden.  And of course my $5 ice bucket!

I think this will serve it's purpose for now. I still have yet to find a real bar cart for this corner, hopefully, on clearance too!

    We are just the same, alcoholic drinks are very rare at home, though I built a wine rack to hold the wine bottles I use mostly for cooking. I love the bar you created! Those mirrors are beautiful! How come I didn't see any of those on my last trip to Target?!

    I love this! All of it looks great but my eyes were immediately drawn to your ice bucket. It's exactly my taste. I'm a new follower from Sweet and Simple Fridays. :)

    This is nice, but a portrait of a child right next to the alcohol? Really??

      Hahaha!, that portrait is a paint-by-number antique find for $5, just wanted some color there, that's a permanent artwork there, it goes on display in my clinic :-)

    I see your new colorful bucket you just bought in your bar! Doesn't that feel so good when you find something and it fits so nicely!
